Did you misstate that? Or did he say not to carry past "no gun" and "30.06" signs in two different statements?wgoforth wrote:sjfcontrol wrote:Think you could get him to say that in writing?wgoforth wrote: Like any other branch of LEO, some are, some aren't. The fellow that is over the local DPS office in our county told me in no uncertain terms that he would arrest anyone going past ANY no gun sign. I was shocked and asked "Even if it is not a 30.06 sign??" He said "Even if." So, not always about not wanting us to get in trouble, but sometimes is their own ignorance.
Hmmm.... could be interesting. I was just chatting him up about signage, and he got downright hateful. He said "Don't you dare carry past a no gun sign." I said I was talking about generic, not the 30.06. He said "I don't care. Don't you dare carry past any 30.06 sign. I'd arrest anyone who did." I tried to use our mall as an illustration, which used to have numerous no gun signs. He said "Well they used to have one of those kinds of signs up there somewhere, so don't you dare." I just thanked him and left it alone. He was in no mindset to discuss it.
At any rate. I'd be tempted to get him to "clarify" his position in writing (make the request in writing). If he responds in writing not to carry past any "no guns" sign, I'd think DPS and/or Mr. Cotton might be interested. Just a suggestion.
